Working for Big Horn County Weed and Pest has it advantages. Spraying weeds on the National Forest allows for some spectacular photo opportunities. These guys were only a few yards away from my vehicle. In the top photo, the moose was only about 30 yards away. He did not mind that we were sitting there in the open talking. In fact, while feeding, he came within about 20 yards. Amazing.

If you have seen the movie "National Treasure Book of Secrets" there is a part when Nicholas Cage puts his hand into a rock to open the passage into the "City of Ebola" the city of gold. This stone perched above the lake is the stone they used to film that scene. It was very cool!!!

We had so much fun visiting the Mount Rushmore area. There are several scenic highways in the area. This video is part of the Needles highway. The Needles name comes from the granite spires sticking up out of the mountain side. A photo posted below is a piece of granite with a hole through one side. That is called the "Eye of the Needle" and is within a few yards of the tunnel.
